CVE-2014-5029 CUPS vulnerabilities
Title: CUPS vulnerabilities
Summary: CUPS could be made to expose sensitive information, leading to privilege
escalation.
Salvatore Bonaccorso discovered that the CUPS web interface incorrectly
validated permissions and incorrectly handled symlinks. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to bypass file permissions and read arbitrary
files, possibly leading to a privilege escalation.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2014-5031 [MEDIUM] CWE-59 cups: world-readable permissions
cups: world-readable permissions
The web interface in CUPS before 2.0 does not check that files have world-readable permissions, which allows remote attackers to obtains sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
It was discovered that CUPS allowed certain users to create symbolic links in certain directories under /var/cache/cups/. A local user with the 'lp' group privileges could use this flaw to read the contents of arbitrary files on the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
Statement: This issue is not planned to be fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as it is now in Production 3 Phase of the support and maintenance life cycle, https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/
